CanaryYellow should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid

Another year almost in the books. The series has grown year on year with 116 different drivers driving in at least one round this year.

2011's runner up having lost the title on the tie breaker (fastest lap over the year) Chris Daines has left nothing to chance in 2013 amassing a points total out of reach of everyone else and can only lose the title by getting black flagged in December.

2nd, 3rd and 4th are split by just 2 points, 2011 Champion Will Gibbs looks secure with 5th and another 6 drivers will fight over the final championship trophy separated by 12 points in the final round next Wednesday.

Remarkably the 80kgs championship has been won by the aforementioned Chris Daines who has spent the year in the main championship showing that size is not an obstacle to success outracing lighter opponents all year. Once again the 2nd and 3rd placed trophies are up for grabs with just a handful of points splitting 2013 Covkartsport champion Jeff Chapman and Marcus Lungley.

So assuming Chris wraps up both titles he will be in the envious position of choosing to use the 270 plate or 80 plate on his kart for 2014.

It may be an "in house" championship but it is contested by some of the countries very best kart drivers who have been busy destroying Super 1 drivers and single seater drivers along the way - not to mention giving them a dressing down for their driving standards "we dont race like that here"

Very few black and white warning flags have been issued all year, the drivers have done a superb job of policing themselves and its this mentality which has been central to the success of the series.

The final round of 2013 takes place next Wednesday with 18 trophies ready to be handed out.

Full details of the 2014 Championship will be released soon.
